SOMERSWORTH — Due to a reporter's error, the winner of the Strafford County State Rep. District 21 race was incorrectly reported. Democrat Kenneth Ward of Rollinsford — and not Republican Michael Rhode — was the winner.

Ward earned a total of 5,907 votes to Rhode's 4,127. He did not return an email seeking comment about his stance on several issues.

The district consists of Dover Wards 5-6, Somersworth Wards 1-5, and Rollinsford.
